KEROSENE LAMPs.

General Misunderstanding About Their
 Care and Use.
 Of all misunderstood things jn daily lie the use Of the kerosene lamp prJD- ably stands at the head.
 First, lamp is bought and fitted for use. and then flied day after day, and after a longer or shorter period does not give as good light as it ussd to; then come complaints 10 the oilman or grocer about tue quality of the oil. when a little reason and judgment used would remedy the fault and remove the cause of complaint
 If persons using lamp would remem- Der that the lamp is machine eombiu- ing the furnace and pump, and endeaEor to learn the principle of using oil, much trouble would be saved; for while no one expects to use Q large machine without learning how to work it, any one can use . lamp.
 Now, the wick is the pump to bring oil from the fount to the tlaze, and, as there is always more or less dust and dir5 in the oil, the wick soon becomes clogged up, and cannot pump oil St enough for q good light; 70 complaint is made, wien new wick would remove the cause.
  part burn, leaving the heavy oil; and, as the lamp IS filled day ty day, the oil gets so heavy that tue dTau,; ht is not strong enough to pump it up. when the of shOLld be all turned out oi the lamp and it rellled with fresh oil.
 And tlen the burn r, after 8 time, gets gumIned up. and the even flow CT tie oil is isturbed, anI causes a smoky, uneyen light which is veXatioUs. l have often had bur CTS rought into my store condemned, and a new one want c, when by two minLteS' work they were ma ,e a. good as new. When the wi k needs cutting, some serape 1; of; others cut it so uneven that it makes Q pointng blaze whi h 70 proyokes one that he wants to condemn it.
 1T & lite reason and thought were used in everyday fife, We woull soon find that lots Of our discomforts would be very easily overcome and banshed; 1; but thi gs go on in Q slip-hod malEcr. year a tet year, with TO attempt to im- provethem.
 But to resume. the burner Is furnished with z eat number of small holes to provide air. to the end that perfect conl- bustion may t Ike lace, and Lot to cui- feet dust and dirt until they aTe clogged up. and smoky, bad-smelling light is in result.
 Nov, il in ing kero enc we fi!l the lamp up with wl!ite oil every day, and oace a week empty back tho oil which is in he lamp, and use new wick, [ cy,n "a d true, every week or once in two weeks, itd are sure to have the lamp bu Ter clean, and clear, nicelJ polls he'd chiE.ncy used,, we " Il find that the kercsen Imp is a cheap and great luxury, and not, as is often the casc. c necessary nuisance, which has to be used for iack of anything botter.

Awkward Joking.
IYnnth,s Comnaninn I

1t is better to be foolishly prudent than to
run any risks through mere carelessness.
No more innocent pastime than writing
ones own name can well be conceived, and
yet the man who leaves his signature float
ing about on blank paper may come to
grief.
gentleman of wealth, while practicing
penmanship one day, wrote his name upon
a blank slip Of paper and allowed it to lie on
bis desk. 1t attracted the attention OF
neighbor, who, for a joke, filled the space
above the signature in the form of a promis-
sorry note, and few days afterward the joking
neighbOr presented the paper, with aD offer
to allow considerable discount if the APP
parent drawer would cash it at the time.
The gentleman perceived the joke, and the
holder of The document, placing it in his
pocket, departed, and nothing more was said
about it. Subsequently the holder was
stricken with paralysis and died, and his
executors, finding the note, and having no
knowledge of the joke attached to it, brought
SUIT, and recovered the sum for which it was
drawn.
The Joker had meant no harm, but he, as
well as his friend, had been careless and some
one had to pay the penalty.

of these facts. He droned on and on, until
man of ordinary forbearance would have
given way to some outbreak; but Mr..
Choate's patience proved to be an unfailing
fount.
He listened with the most exemplary
patience, and when the man, after a weary
and protracted discourse, at length departed,
his auditor merely said to by-stander:
what an excellent person Mr.. A. Y. q. isl
But don't you think he would be much bet
ter than he is if he would tell in quarter of
3 minute what he has consumed fifteen
minutes in telling?"
The great LAWYER was also free from that
great failing of learned men, the desire to
instruct, no matter if the manner of doing
so should smack of pedantry. There was a
gracious courtesy in his style of introducing
quotations into his speeches; it was more
over, one which not only conclliated, but in
creased the self-respect of his audience.
"You remember" he would say, that fine
passage in Seuthey"- "a
81 need not remind you that Burke on
this point says
Cicero, in that very familiar Grafton, has
declared
you have all, no doubt, appliedIto this
subject the famous remark of Hooker
No audience desires that an orator should
speak down to it, as no individual would
choose to be patronized. True courtesy is
largely mixed with Difference, and it is a
compound of which we all, as well as this
great man, may learn the secret.

THE DAWN THE HOUSE.
A classification of the journal Record-Th,
Downing BeasIey Contest.

A Fa1siication of the journal Record-The
Downing BeasIey Contest.
The House was not the anticipated scene of
any startling developments yesterday. The
session opened, however, with a fair sample
of Republican falsifications. This was in
the Journal which recited the details of the
Robertson count on Monday, and that the
count was made before the House and Sen
ate in joint convention, although
it was a notorious fact that the
Senate could not convene on that
day, having adjourned until yesterday.
The Democrats attempted to demonstrate,
but were throttled by the previous question
under the manipulation OF Mr.. Gardiner
The lie was Endorsed by the fult Republican
vote approving the journal. The previous
question OF course disposed Of all discussion,
and the only method possible to the Demo-
Gratis for condemning the outrage was to
explain their votes, and in this they
were held strictly to an explanation by the
Speaker. During the reading, Mr.. Harrell
attempted to get in resolution setting forth
the true facts, but was promptly ruled out of
order. The work went gayly on, and the
Republicans were not offended by hearing
their actions characterized. AS Mr.. Cox. of
Miami, put the matter, 1.-THE journal states
the Senate was present, whereas we know
the Senate was not present"

LADY SERIOUSLY INJURED
BY the Explosion of q Dynamite Cartridge
Under q San Francisco Street-Car.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE residents on
Post street, between Larkin and Polk streets,
were startled last evening by the sound of q
tremendous explosion and by the SCATTERING
of glass about their ears. A dynamite car
fridge had beed placed on the track of the
Larkin street branch line of the Suffer
street cable road, and exploded under
dummy No. "a. The dummy was COM
pletely wrecked, and the windows of the car
and of the houses in the vicinity were de-
molshed. A Mr.. Hilderbrand and his wife
and brother were sitting in the dummy on
the side where the explosion took place.
They were all thrown into the street, and
Mrs. Hilderbrand, it is feared, is seriously
injured. She was taken into a neighboring
house and medical assistance was summoned.
Later in the evening she was conveyed to
her home. 1t was a miracle that there were
no others injured, as several persons were on
the dummy. People in the vicinity rushed
to the scene of the disaster, aud soon large
crowd congregated. Engineer Comfy, who
was on the dummy, describing his sensation,
said that the explosion had the effect Of mo-
mentarily stunning him, and it was fully
half an hour before he recovered his hear
ing.
The excitement caused by this explosion
was intensified when it became known that
another explosion had taken place on the
Suffer street cable road, near Dupont street,
about an hour later. The explosion is be-
lieved to have been caused by the dummy
wheels running over cartridge of giant
powder. The dummy was disabled and had
TO be taken to the shops for repairs. 1t was
replaced by new one, and the road contin-
ued 10 operate its cars as usual during the
remainder of the night No one was injured
by the last explosion, and the charge in the
cartridge evidently was small.
The authorities are entirely at loss as to
the authors of these outrages, and have as
r-nAr not DfNf cd lfuh ole To he
perpetrators of any of these frequent at
tempts at the destruction of life and prop
erty on the Gary and Suffer street cable
roads. Three men who were on the Post
street dummy were bruised, but none of
them seriously hurt. Two men have been
arrested on suspicion of being concerned in
the outrage. Their names can not be ascer-
tanned.
Later in the evening an unexploded dyna-
mite cartridge was found near Scott street,
on the Gary street road. The cartridge had
evidently been placed on the track, but had
rolled off

which he was condemned to death, Hay APP
pealed to Mr.. Lincoln for pardon, and told
